UN visit to Iran plant

Inspectors yesterday got their first look inside an Iranian uranium enrichment plant that raised western suspicions about Tehran's nuclear programme.

UThe semi-official Mehr news agency reported that the four-member team had visited the heavily protected facility, carved into a mountainside north of the holy city of Qom.

Iran is expected to make a decision within days on whether to accept a UN-brokered deal to process its nuclear fuel abroad, designed to ease Western fears about Iran's potential ability to produce weapons-grade material.
